[quote=Leviathan;3888868]You could just as easily have been stopped out for 8 pips too. Depending on how many lots you put in, that's a scary prospect given this strategy's intended application.

[quote]
yes, it is a question of money management. i calculated 8 pips and i am comfortable with this if i loose.

Quick question for Oanda users - how much did you get stopped out by? Me and a couple of others have found occasional slippage with stops - for instance today I should have been out for -2 but I was actually out -3.

Anyone else experience this with Oanda? Any way around it or is it just an inherent risk with this type of trading?

Cheers,

Dan
This was becourse the spread on oanda was 1,5 pips this morning so 0,6 more than usual

I moved my SL quickly so was out for -0.5.

The spreads widened at London open to 1.5pips instead of 0.9 as we had a sell off in GBP all of sudden so Oanda spreads all widened.

It's a real risk of trading this style...slippage could if it was big be very harmful. Oanda are much better from what I've seen than any MT4 though and unless there is some big news out at the open you are unlikely to get big slippage / gaps just increased spreads.

Oanada increases their spreads around news time...much more than any MT4 broker does...something to be wary off.
